Gerard Butler no sex symbol

Gerard Butler can't understand why women would think he was a sex symbol

Gerard Butler thinks people are "insane" for calling him "sexy".

The Scottish actor - who bulked up for comic book movie '300' in 2007 - finds it weird people want him to show off his toned torso, but he always gives any flesh baring scenes his all.

He said: "I do tend to get asked to take my clothes off in films quite a lot. Trust me, if I could leave my clothes on in a movie, I'd rather do that any time. But if I'm going to get undressed I'm going to do it as well as I can. Whenever I hear people say that's sexy... for the few people that say that, I think, 'Are you insane?' "

The 39-year-old hunk is rumoured to be dating his 'The Bounty' co-star Jennifer Aniston.

Although neither Gerard or Jennifer are yet to give anything away regarding a possible romance, the actor admits it has been "heaven" working with the former 'Friends' star.

He said: "She is one classy lady. Everyday I go to work with her I'm always surprised about how cool, easy and down to earth and real she is.

"I'm in New York right now filming and I'm in heaven. I can't always say that about movies."
